Not everyone can have Xray vision, you know.
Do I detect a note of jealousy?
Lois, what are you doing?
When was the last time you heard me sneeze?
Uh. . .
Well, you never will again! Thanks to Vitamin C! I'm reading a book that says the foundation of a sound body structure is one thousand milligrams of Vitamin C every day.
One thousand?? That's an awful lot of oranges. You know there are pill, Lois. I've seen them.
Oh sure. The American answer to everything. Pills. No, this is natural.
I don't?
Of course not. Not when you've got so much going for you.
I do?
Sure! But nobody knows it. Least of all you. Look, would you mind if I gave you some constructive criticism?
Actually, yes.
Well, you shouldn't Be more aggressive, Clark! Trust your instinct! When you see your opportunity, grab it! I do.
Lois, why don't you at least get one of those automatic ones?
Haven't you heard? There's an energy crisis. No, this was good enough for my mother
Maybe I could try
Be my guest.
Clark, everything I was saying can't you see I only say it because I really care?
Really?
Of course, that's what friends are for.
It is kinda romantic.
In July???
'Magic Fingers.' Fifty cents.
Hah, some guys say I have magic fingers.
Oh, you're a great writer, Lois, nobody doubts that.
Yeah, thanks. . . . I mean, really! Posing as newlyweds to uncover the honeymoon racket in Niagara Falls. I mean,. imagine wasting a great reporter uh, reporters on this. Perry White and his Sunday Magazine exposes.
But this should be exposed. They get kids here who are just starting out in life and they take them for every nickel they can get. That's what Perry says.
A "complimentary corsage."
Oh sure, everything is complimentary. Until you get the bill.
I was. . . uh. . . just wondering about the.. . .the.. . . the uh, arrangements. Sleeping arrangements.
Mr. Smith the "complimentary couch."
I don't know, they look pretty happy to me...
That's because you can hardly see through those things.
Hey, are you hungry? I'm hungry.
Lois, you're amazing.
Aw, c'mon anybody can get hungry.
No. I mean here you stand with one of nature's most awesome spectacles and the whole time you've had your back to it. Aren't you impressed?
Frankly, once you've seen Superman in action, Niagara Falls tends to leave you cold.
Where were you?
I was getting hot dogs. What do you mean?
I mean it strikes me funny that every time Superman comes around, you disappear.
Superman? Oh, was he here?
And you weren't. As usual. What do you say to that?
Lois, I don't have the vaguest idea as usual what you're
Don't fake me out, Clark. Or whoever you are.
Whoever, I Look, maybe you ought to take a walk and clear your head. I'II meet you back at the motel.
Who ????
Listen, I've got to give you credit. Your disguise is nearly perfect. I mean, if you fooled me, and I am nobody's fool
No, of course not, Lois. You just get carried away sometimes. Believe me, I understand
You've been under a lot of pressure lately
Uhuh. Listen, I'll tell you what. You say I'm wrong. And I say I'm right. So why don't we make a little bet on it?
How could you win a crazy bet like
Because of what I'm betting. My life.
What??
Oh Clark, no!
Lois, help! I can't I can't swim !
It's true. It's true.
Lois, I . . .
I was right. you are Superman.
Oh come on, that's ridic
You don't have anything to be sorry about. How could I . . .
Maybe you wanted to.
I didn't think I wanted to.
Well, not in your mind, but maybe . . .deep in your heart . . .
I'm in love with you. How do you feel?
We'd better talk.
I'm listening.
Not here, Perry'll be calling at six to find out what's happening.
"What's happening." Oh, is that the understatement of the year. Well, so . . . where do you want to . . . talk?
I guess it would be all right if Lois, now that you know me, I think you ought to know it all.
I want to.
Let's go to my place.
Let's go to my place.
Your place? Maybe I should change, Maybe you should, too.
You did it. You gave it all up for me. I . . . I don't know what to say.
Say you love me.
Clark . . . it doesn't matter . . . we can move . . .
Do you . . . ah . . . want to step outside?
Blood . . . my . . . blood . . .
Let's get you inside . . . .
Maybe we ought to hire a bodyguard from now on.
I don't want a bodyguard. I want the man I fell in love with.
I know that, Lois. And I wish he were here . . .
I have to go back . . .to the Fortress . . .
But what can you do? There's no way now . . .
I have to try, dammit! Something, anything . . .
Don't . . . it's not your fault . . . you didn't know . . .
He knew. I heard him. I just didn't listen.
Hi.
Oh, hi.
Sleep well?
Never closed my eyes.
I know, I know all the arguments, you don't have to tell me. That's what I did all night I "listened to the voices of reason" till the dawn came up. Do you have any idea what a vile sound it to hear the first bird singing when you've been up night crying?
I'm sorry.
Me too, Oh, I tried to convince myself, believe me, "It's like being married to a doctor," I said. Doctors are practically never at home. The get emergency calls in the middle of the night and their wives manage to live with it. Then a voice said, " could you be a doctor's wife? Or are you too selfish . . . "
You're not selfish at all.
Oh, when it comes to you I am. Not that I don't understand why they all need you. but they can't need you more than I do.
"They?"
Everybody. Everybody else. I'd be buying my little rainbow at the their expense. All the ones who say "Help. Come quick. Now" I know who you'd have to pick.
